Estimate nutrition as food entries arrive
Log a meal in Google Sheets and let Notis fetch its nutrition details, so you can review the estimate without switching tools.
Trigger
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
Action
Extract Nutrition Information
Tool to extract nutrition information from text query. use when you need to parse food-related text (e.g., recipes, menus) to calculate corresponding nutrition data.
Why this helps
Looking up nutrition for each food entry interrupts logging and makes it easy to leave records incomplete.
- Add nutrition estimates to new food entries
- Reduce manual searches between logging and reviewing meals
- Keep nutrition details close to the original entry
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Api ninjas once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the food description in each new row to fetch nutrition information and record the result with the entry.
- 4Pick the New Rows in Google Sheet trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real food log row.
Questions about this workflow
What should a food log row include?
Include a text description of the food, recipe, or menu item so Notis has something to send for nutrition extraction.
Are the results exact nutrition labels?
They are estimates extracted from the supplied text. Review them when precision matters, since portions and ingredients may be incomplete.
